Events
The Event pages allow you to configure the Axis product to perform actions when different events occur. For example, the product
can start a recording or send an email notification when motion is detected. The set of conditions that defines how and when
the action is triggered is called an action rule.

Set Up Action Rules

An action rule defines the conditions that must be met for the product to perform an action, for example record video or send an
email notification. If multiple conditions are defined, all of them must be met to trigger the action.
For more information about available triggers and actions, see Triggers on page 44 and Actions on page 46.
The following example describes how to set up an action rule to send an email notification with an attached jpeg image when the
call button is pushed.
1. Go to Events > Action Rules and click Add.
2. Select Enable rule and enter a descriptive name for the rule.
3. Select Input Signal from the Trigger drop-down list.
4. Select Digital Input Port from the second drop-down list.
5. Select Call Button from the third drop-down list.
6. Optionally, select a Schedule and Additional conditions. See below.
7. Select Send Images from the Actions drop-down list.
8. Select Send only the first and enter 1.
9. Select an email recipient from the Recipient drop-down list. Or create a new recipient. See Set Up Email Recipients
on page 47.
10. Click OK.
To use more than one trigger for the action rule, select Additional conditions and click Add to add additional triggers. When using
additional conditions, all conditions must be met to trigger the action.
To prevent an action from being triggered repeatedly, a Wait at least time can be set. Enter the time in hours, minutes and seconds,
during which the trigger should be ignored before the action rule can be activated again.
The recording Duration of some actions can be set to include time immediately before and after the event. Select Pre-trigger time
and/or Post-trigger time and enter the number of seconds. When While the rule is active is enabled and the action is triggered
again during the post-trigger time, the recording time will be extended with another post-trigger time period.
